Quite a few people also noticed the huge flamewar of 'oh noes, dev enabled a feature despite our lack of consensus' . Now we're sending people to board for all the minor changes they ask for :-)
The whining will likely be channelled through en:wp ArbCom, who hate silly makework for the sake of bureaucracy at least as much as the devs do.

This should avoid hindering simple stuff while supplying sufficient process to quell the querulous.
